Does anyone have a similar mobile application that works locally and is not too expensive? Mostly looking to transcribe voice messages sent over Signal which does not offer this OOTB
There is one single app I've been able to find that offers Parakeet-v3 for free locally and it's called Spokenly. They have paid cloud models available as well, but the local Parakeet-v3 implementation is totally free and is the best STT has to offer these days regardless. Super fast and accurate. I consider single-user STT basically a solved problem at this point.

I have been using this one from Futo for quite some time and love it: https://keyboard.futo.org/
They also have a voice input only version if you still would like to keep your typing keyboard: https://voiceinput.futo.org/

Spokenly is great too, but Handy's minimalistic and focused UI won me over.
Spokenly is my go-to app on iOS for transcription as well.
